Just so I am clear I did NOT ask, nor want a meeting with Brian Doyle of Infill Innovation and told him this in two seperate emails.
That first, I found no value in meeting with him from what I had seen of their opertion.
Second, I had no respect for their business model for duping investors and construction companies out of money
Mr. Doyle kept emailing me several times always saying "when can we meet?"
After about the 5th time I saw where this was going and he wanted to be able to say my website was misinformtion even though I provided the so-called receipts and that I would not even meet with him.
So on July 30th, 2026 I and a fellow grassroots organizer met at the new offices they fled to after leaving their Kearny Mesa office with $230,000.00 in back rent and $1.6million left on the 65 month lease they skipped out on.
The company is suing them under the following information if you are interested
8/11/26 - Lawsuit filed
Case No. 26CU42883C
Plaintiff - Seville Plaza Propco LLC
Defendants - SDRE Homebuyers LLC, Vertical MVMT LLC
The meeting lasted 1 hour and I will go over the highlights.
1. BRIAN DOYLE’S MONOLOGUE
He opened with about a 15 minute monologue telling us how he wanted to help all San Diegan’s achieve their dreams of having a home and he has 3 daughters and how this is a brand new company, Spicer no longer is employed with them just a minority share holder, they wanted to work WITH the community and be good neighbor.
MY RESPONSE
I pointed out to Mr. Doyle he had already state he “paused”construction due to a need for “recapitalization” so why would they need an architect or construction company since they were no longer building and still had 18 projects in varying stages of completion and that some had been sitting since last December with no work being done on them.
That as far as wanting to have San Diegans achieve their dreams of owning their own home Trudy Grundland pointed out “but you only build 1 bedroom ADU’s for rent, correct?.”
2. MR. DOYLE CLAIMS HE WAS NOT REALLY PRESIDENT OF SDRE
He stated to us he was just a “consultant” to SDRE and just joined the company late last year.
MY RESPONSE
“You just joined SDRE in October or November of 2025?”
“You were just an “consultant” not the President of SDRE?”
“Then why did the brochure from SDRE dated November 14th 2024 list you as President nearly 21 months ago if you just joined a few months ago as you say?”
His response was “well that was just an advertising brochure to investors.”
Implying they were lying to investors about his position with the company? I did not buy it and I doubt any lawyer who is suing him and their company’s different names are going to buy that either.
3. DOYLE WANTED TO KNOW MY CONNECTION TO SPICER
His implication was I had some kind of personal vendetta against Mr. Spicer and since Mr. Spicer now was longer employed with the “new” company it should not rub off on him.
MY RESPONSE
“I would not know Mr. Spicer if I ran over him other than he is supposedly 6’f oot 3” but I have never met him. However as a retired builder I do not like what you and he are doing to our neighborhoods.”
And to his comment that my feelings toward Mr. Spicer should not spill over on to him I stated.
“You Mr. Doyle are nearly 30 years older than Mr. Spicer, you should have stopped this destruction to our neighborhoods and stopped his ridiculous buying spree to the point you are millions upon millions in debt to lenders and investors. You are equally responsible.”
4. MR DOYLE STATED THAT THE CHALCIFICA PROJECT PLANS HAD 2 BEDROOMS INCLUDED NOT JUST 1 BEDROOMS
MY RESPONSE
“They were pictures not plans”
5. MY QUESTION TO MR. DOYLE ABOUT THE
$150 MILLION INVESTMENT FROM FORTRESS GROUP
I asked Mr. Doyle why in July of last year they sent out a mass of press releases in July 2025 on the internet saying they got a $150 million dollar investment from the Fortress Investment Group but by December 2025 they already had Notices of Default filed on them. Where did all the money go in just 5 short months?
Mr. Doyle gave no answer and changed the subject.
6. Source Group Realty & Infill Innovations Inc. no longer affiliated
Mr. Doyle stated Mr. Spicers’ company, Source Group Realty that he has a partnership in with Larry Tadlock is no longer affiliated or posting the ADU rentals from the 17 properties they have finally completed.
MY RESPONSE
That does seem to be the case that ADU’s that were built last year are no longer listed on Source Group Realty website just ones Mr. Spicer has been property manager of for several years and now the ADU rentals are listed on the revamped SDRE website now called Infill Innovation but the same site.
7. MR. DOLYE STATED THEY HAD BOUGHT ALL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS & LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES FROM MR. SPICER AND OTHERS
That the Limited Partnerships like
Balaton and Godavari between Mr. Spicer and Mr. Paul Green of IbuySD.com were all bought up by Infill Innovations inc.
and all the LLC’s like
Chalcedony Management,
Chalcedony Holdings,
SDRE DIM,
Weona Properties
And individual addresses they created LLCs for on many, many properties for example
3879 Boren llc- belonging to Mr. Christian Spicer
3879 Boren B llc - belonging to Mr. Seth O'Bryne
MY RESPONSE
“I am surprised to hear that since the County Assessor's Office still shows their ownership.”
I also emailed Mr. Doyle and Mr. Kopesky on Friday to reconfirm such.
8. MR. DOYLE STATED SOME ADU RENTALS THEY BUILT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO INVESTORS.
MY RESPONSE
“Again I am surprised to hear that.”
I then started giving Mr. Doyle and Mr. Kopensky a list of his 86 properties I had tracked SDRE’s and Infill Innovation inc. ownership to and asked him to confirm if they were theirs.
35 Vacant homes - some sitting for 2 1/2 years with squatters on some
18 ADU Projects - they paused construction on in varying stages of building
13 Lots every vacant lots or cleared of a house
17 ADU Projects - They have completed as of today and are renting
9. Mr. DOYLE SAID THEY PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THE VACANT PROPERTIES OR ONES LEFT HALF CONSTRUCTED THIS YEAR AND POSSIBLE NOT NEXT YEAR EITHER.
MY RESPONSE
“That is not going to work for me or the neighbors and neighborhoods with the 35 vacant homes and 18 half finished projects you have left, some languishing in for 2 1/2 years or more since acquiring them.
After purchasing you removed the owner or renter and just left them abandoned and know they have weeds up to my waist, flyers and debris strewn all over the front and backyards and now squatters have moved in and are terrorizing neighbors and neighborhoods with vandalism, theft and assault with deadly weapons.
You WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM NOW OR I AM SENDING EACH ADDRESS TO THE CITY BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT BLUE INVESTIGATIONS UNIT!”
10. MR. DOYLE SAID HE HAD BEEN WORKING ON CLEANING UP THE PROPERTIES
MY RESPONSE
That is false, you were alerted by Building and Code Enforcement about 1445 Hilger in Encanto on June 15th, Mr. Kopensky said he accompanied the City inspector out to the property on June 29th. The City inspector noted NOTHING had been done.
It was not until I got the media involved that you “chose” to clean up that one property.
11. MR. DOYLE SAID HE NEEDED TIME
MY RESPONSE
"Mr. Doyle you have working with SDRE since at least November 15th 2024 according to my documentation. You have had plenty of time to either sell these properties, rent these properties, demolish these properties or complete building on these properties. You have done nothing!
Your lawsuits and financial problems were created by your company, not the citizens of San Diego. This ends now."
12. MR. DOYLE SAID TO GIVE HIM 1 WEEK
MY RESPONSE
“One week and then if you have not cleaned up the properties I have given you a list of from weeds, trash, flyers, old mail and debris and squatters I will report each property to Building and Code Enforcement.'
